I just finished watching "Three Body (Problem)", a Chinese Sci-Fi tv show that was excellent/okay. The build-up was excellent, one of the best I've seen... the dénouement was... well, not even okay.
To any China experts out there... what was with all the chick stuff? 'Brilliant chick theoretical physicists who could also run experiments???' Right... I mean, they can't do either/or. Chick leaders that inspire their subordinates via their incredible skills... Whatever... I thought that the Chinese were somewhat anti-woke?? I know a lot of chick physicists, including one of the 'four' nobel prize winners (the Canadian chick worked with my ex-girlfriend) , and they're all... dumb as sticks. Like literally stupid to the point that they don't even understand their own research. There are a few exceptions, obviously (Hossenfelder is an excellent pedagogue).
There were a few brief scenes where two men scientists talked, and the series came alive. The whole thing would have been amazing had there been only men (and a better ending).
If even China has fallen, the world is in for a horrible surprise. Hopefully I'll be dead before it happens.
I just flicked through the 1st episode and only saw men talking. I doubt it's as bad as you say. You're probably just reading too much into things.. There are a lot more female scientists these days. I didnt see any female generals giving orders, and the main character is a dude, so not really woke at all. Nobody wants to watch a sausage fest, however believable it may be.
Didnt the Chinese government recently tell it's TV and Film industry; " No black people and bigger tits." ? Pretty sure I read that.
Nah, it starts just great. One of the best things I've ever seen. And then... chicks everywhere. It's not bad, and they even diss the eminently dissable Madame Curie, but... it's not bad... but it is as bad as I say.
Aye well here's where you're forgetting the prime audience...blokes. If you're a sci-fan you're a guy. Probably a smart one. If it's just about women being in it and not the plot revolving around female empower🤮ment or whatever then it's fine.
They are there to be gawked at. Nothing more. They serve us.
Okay, yeah, I 100% agree with you. I really (really) liked looking at the slim, attractive oriental chicks. The only problem is that chicks can't have organic conversations about... anything, so their, um, profundity bogs things down. Unfortunately, the next generation is going to think that it's real. At this point: maybe there's no fighting it?
